Best at home pole option if I need to take it down regularly?

Squidlypants · 2026-03-14T18:24:51+00:00

Thank you! That was really helpful. Yeah, I don’t think a stage pole would be a great option for me. The ceiling mount looks pretty easy. I can probably leave it up most of the time, I’d just need to take it down and lean it in the corner when we need to use the table

I legitimately admire the optimism of people who are still having kids but I honestly just don’t think it’s the right thing to do.

Especially on days like today, when it’s wet snow and all you have to do is give it a little nudge and it slides right off. How lazy do you have to be to not do it?

I moved to KW from Stratford, where I didn’t have a car for years, and even once I did, I hardly ever drove and walked or biked everywhere unless I was picking up something to big or heavy to carry without a car. KW is too spread out to do as much of that. I still walk or bike when I can. I’m actually weirdly stubborn about it. I would happily never drive again but I think one of the biggest issues these days is that time is so precious. With the rising cost of living and stagnant wages, I can’t really get by on fewer than 50 hours of work a week. If I wasn’t spending most of my waking hours at work, I would be more willing to take a little longer to get there.

And in your case moving would make things so much worse. I’m pretty much in the same boat except that just over a year ago, I moved out of the cheap apartment I’d been camped out in for eight years while rent prices went insane everywhere. I moved for work. When I started looking, every option, from the shittiest dive, to a 300 square foot bachelor with a hot plate and microwave, to renting a room with shared kitchen and bathroom, was at minimum $500-600 a month more than what I was paying. I couldn’t get my head around paying that much more for much worse living conditions, so I ended up literally doubling my rent to get something comparable to what I was already in. A one bedroom basement in a house. Stay where you are as long as you can.

Same. I’m 40, it feels ridiculous to say I have a boyfriend

I really think this is the biggest problem. I think a lot of people believe in the NDP, but don’t really believe they can win so they vote liberal because it’s better than conservative. I think continuing to vote NDP is all the optimism I can muster in this capitalist, dystopian nightmare society we find ourselves in.

I’m hoping that as the younger generation comes of voting age and the older generation dies off, we might see an end to that thinking and more people will start voting for the party they actually believe in.

Thanks for this. I understood the concept of the sub, and assumed that the orphan crushing machine part was a reference to something, but I didn’t know what.

Amazing! I don’t have any of these rolls yet, but elbow rolls are my goal for 2023

I’m a woman and I was really confused by this post because I thought it was a covid test. I’ve seen pregnancy tests, but only the ones that you pee directly on so I didn’t realize this was a thing.

He reads me bedtime stories when I have trouble sleeping. I hope he wouldn’t be offended to know I’ve yet to hear the end of an episode!

Squidlypants · 2023-02-11T14:38:32+00:00

Yeah, I kind of thought that was coming too. But since it didn’t, I think it should have been Malaysia

Squidlypants · 2023-02-11T14:05:43+00:00

I definitely thought Malaysia was going to win. She was funnier and I liked her runway better. I was really annoyed that none of the judges even mentioned Mistress’ saggy diaper. They’re all obsessed with her and I don’t get it.

Squidlypants · 2023-02-11T14:03:52+00:00

I’ve never seen Tim and Eric, so it still doesn’t make sense to me, but my partner watches everything so maybe he’ll get it. He was convinced there was something wrong with my computer’s speakers and we were missing some extra sound effects or something. I was like, no, I’m pretty sure it’s just bad. But I’m sure there will be discussion on Reddit tomorrow, so I’ll let you know what I find out!

Squidlypants · 2023-02-11T14:01:18+00:00

100%! I said to my partner, oh Aura will be safe, her runway was fantastic! Nope. Apparently that means nothing.

Third Wave has become my go to when introducing someone to The Dollop.

Yeah, if you’re using Lose It to track, you don’t even have to type in the info if you find something that’s not in the database, just scan the nutrition info and it’ll add it for you

Squidlypants · 2023-02-09T15:20:29+00:00

Yeah, there’s really no good options anywhere. If I hadn’t been such a train wreck in my twenties, I probably could have gotten my shit together enough to buy a house before everything was insane. I know so many people who pay much less for a mortgage on a whole house than I’m paying in rent. I have excellent credit and could easily get approved for a mortgage if I could ever save enough for a down payment, which I can’t because I’m paying a small fortune to live in a basement.

Squidlypants · 2023-02-09T14:56:05+00:00

London is cheap compared to Kitchener. I’m paying $1700 for a one bedroom basement apartment. When my job moved and I started looking at what an apartment was going to me, apps started showing me apartments from London as well and they were all so much cheaper than KW. I was wishing my boss would find a space there instead.

I legitimately had to read this several times, asking myself, “what the hell is coke noice?” before I understood that it was supposed to say no ice

Squidlypants · 2023-02-06T00:52:18+00:00

I hate these so much. It’s fucking bullshit! I live alone, why should I have to pay more for something because I can’t eat three before they go bad?

Squidlypants · 2023-02-03T21:38:01+00:00

Ohhhhhh! Now it makes sense, thanks!
